> A metrics time-series database and alerting engine built for pull-based scraping.

A metrics time-series database and alerting engine built for pull-based scraping.

This page describes the Levelrail template for Prometheus (Monitoring). It deploys the services below as one Docker Compose app on your own server. Project site: [https://prometheus.io/docs/introduction/overview/](https://prometheus.io/docs/introduction/overview/).

Recommended memory: about 512 MiB.

## Services, ports and volumes

| Service | Image | Container ports | Volumes |
| - | - | - | - |
| `prometheus` | `prom/prometheus:v2.54.1` | 9090 | `prometheus_data -> /prometheus` |

## Environment variables

This template sets no environment variables.

Passwords and keys marked as generated are created for you when the app is deployed and stored as secrets. Values are not shown here.

## Deploy Prometheus with Levelrail

In the dashboard, open **Apps**, choose **New app**, then **Browse templates**, and select Prometheus. Review the Compose body and deploy.

With the CLI:

```bash theme={"dark"}
levelrail-cli templates deploy prometheus --name my-prometheus
```

See the [service template catalog](/templates-and-registry) for how templates work, and [Getting started](/getting-started) if you have not installed Levelrail yet.
